Wrestler Vinesh Phogat has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following her disqualification from the Paris 2024 Olympics wrestling final. Phogat, who missed the 50kg weight limit by just 100 grams, was barred from competing in the final despite winning her semi-final match 5-0. She has requested that CAS award her the silver medal. CAS is expected to deliver a verdict by tomorrow morning. If CAS rules in her favor, the IOC may grant her a joint silver medal. This appeal marks a significant development in the aftermath of her controversial disqualification.
